chemeen chamanthi podi

Chammanthi podi is a popular Kerala-style dry chutney powder made from roasted ingredients. It is a dry version of traditional chammanthi and is loved for its spicy, nutty, and aromatic flavor.

Description:
Chammanthi podi is prepared by dry roasting grated coconut, dried red chillies, shallots (optional), garlic, curry leaves, and cumin seeds, then grinding them into a coarse or fine powder. Some variations include tamarind or asafoetida (hing) for extra taste. The ingredients are roasted until golden, giving the podi a rich aroma and long shelf life.
